Problem Description:
Problem is that snaps suddenly don’t work. I have tried:
sudo snap refresh
& get the following response in Terminal:
sudo snap refresh
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
Run configure hook of “brave” snap if present (run hook “configure”:
system_key.go:147: cannot determine nfs usage in generateSystemKey: cannot parse /etc/fstab: cannot parse dump frequency: “information.”
error: timeout waiting for snap system profiles to get updated
-----)
I’m wondering how to repair snaps, as none of the snaps apps work properly.
The better place to ask about this would be on forum.snapcraft.io in the snapd category (which the snapd developers read regularly), but the error you posted indicates some issue with your fstab file, did you edit that recently ?
Problem Description:
starting firefox as snap nothing happened
In console I got this error:

Key: cannot parse /etc/fstab: cannot parse dump frequency: “information.”
internal error, please report: running “firefox” failed: timeout waiting for snap system p
rofiles to get updated
Followed advice from @ogra and in my /etc/fstab was the “#” in the first line missing. So it wasn’t a comment. I added it an then it worked.
Had also no problem with boot process … so other process ignored this or handled it differently??? Don’t know … just a thought i had.
But I didn’t change anything in /etc/fstab recently. Last change was 8. Feb.
I am much obliged by the 2 replies (@ogra & some1user2000). The problem was the 1st line in fstab, which was uncommented. After the 1st reply (@ogra) I compared fstab with a backup copy I had made about 1 month ago, & then I read the 2nd reply from (some1user2000) which was the clincher.
